Interest Groups

Music Group

The Shed's own Music Group, officially “The Shed Boys”, started up in October 2016 with a thoroughly workable group established within weeks. Some months later, we’re set up with a steady team, a solid and diverse (and evolving) repertoire.

The core objective of the group is to be inclusive & to welcome players of all standards, with some very experienced members available to provide guidance. Our experienced core is key, because it provides a solid sound base that enables relative beginners to play within their capabilities and still contribute to a great sound.

Weekly get-togethers are held on Thursday evenings, starting at 7pm and going to somewhere between 8 and 9. Our repertoire can come from any of our participants, and currently encompasses folk, country, bluegrass, traditional and modern.

Newcomers are always welcome, either just come along on a Thursday to check us out or bring an instrument if you want to get straight into it. Or if you’re a regular visitor to the shed in the morning, you might catch one of our occasional performance spots after morning tea.

Group convenor is Bruce Varley. For contact details contact the shed (details on home page).

Gardening Group

The Gardening Group has been running for two & a half years in what is now a green a corner of the yard. We basically concentrate on propagation by division or cuttings and produce pot plants for sale to the public either directly during the week or via sales at the Craft Market & Community Fair. Many specimens have been brought in by Shed Members and have been incorporated into our stock.

The Group meets on a Monday morning and new participants are always welcome. Mike Ansell.

New Groups

The Management Committee is always willing to consider new ideas for different interests so please contact the Chairman or Secretary if there is something that you would like to be considered for support in this regard.
